Rainy Friday

Okay, so I drove Tony to the N. Berkeley BART at 8:40AM this morning and decided to find a spot on the street and take BART to work early today. I treated myself to an egg sandwich next door and here I am doing very little.

My to-do list is staring me in the face. I hate that. I grabbed 3 headshots this morning, so I have three ready to go. I will head to the post office during lunch today. Unfortunately, that's all I can accomplish today. I should have brought my laptop to get all of the other stuff done or at least started - and now that I see the rain outside - an umbrella.

Yesterday was a full day, but no yoga - or at least no yoga class. I did do a little bit in the living room, but was afraid that I would be too tired with my foot throbbing and knowing that I had lots of walking ahead of me. I slept until about 10AM and we got on the road around 11:30AM. Dim sum was excellent at Hang Ahn in Chinatown and then we walked to SF Moma and toured the entire museum. It was nice to have that much time. Tony called his buds at the Opera and we swung by there to say hey and watch the first act of Otello. Quite a spectacle! The music was lovely and the sets and lights were quite nice. Not a huge fan of the costumes. We left at the intermission break in time to head back to Berkeley and grab some food before Tiny Kushner at Berkeley Rep.

We stopped at a little fast foody Hawaiian place on Shattuck. The food was not good. It was cheap, but I spent most of the time eating how to fix and improve my noodle soup. I think I will saute some onions and asparagus with some spicy chicken and see what that does.

The show last night was okay. It felt dated which is odd for a new show. The acting was good and the design elements were simple but the writing was all over the place. It needed editing. I know that Kushner is a pretty verbose writer, but still.

I am ushering for Kati on Saturday night at Yerba Buena for a dance show and then I hope to see Love's Labours at the Zellerbach on Sunday. I should call right now to see if they need ushers.

Rain rain go away! But in the meantime, here are my daily gratitudes:

1. theatre, music and dance so close
2. good dim sum
3. temperate weather, perfect for walking
4. gelato
5. Regina Spektor on my ipod
